Gust Load Factor & Wing Bending Explained

[QUOTE="Lnewqban, post: 6829701, member: 673625"] Welcome, [USER=731499]@TEST65[/USER] ! The gust load factor is defined as the Lift/Weight ratio of an airplane while subjected to a gust. Therefore, positive factors are applicable to cases in which the gust increases the normal lift of the airplane (example: nose to tail horizontal gust). Following the same reasoning, could you describe one condition leading to a negative gust load factor? Would the wings make a happy or a sad face in that case? [/QUOTE]
